LED Light Bulbs

A LED or light emitting diode acts as a semiconductor. It produces a solid beam of light which does not require a filament to be ignited to create light. Light is produced when electricity move through chemicals. Whilst this may appear a bit complex its application is very simple and very effective. This is the main reason why LED light bulbs are becoming more popular in all lighting applications worldwide.

Some of the advantages of using LED bulbs over traditional fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are stated below:

LED bulbs use “cold light technology.” In other words this technology makes it possible for the LED bulbs to generate less heat. Recent studies have proved that heat generated from the LED bulbs is absolutely minimal compared to other bulbs using a different technology such as incandescents, CFLs and vapour types. It’s a well understood fact that the increased amount of heat produced by other types actually reduces their efficiency and their lifespan. The lack of heat underpins a LEDs durability and long life.

Another thing with the LED bulb is that they will give you an indication before expiring. The indication will usually come in the form of fading light. This will provide ample time for replacement without hampering your lifestyle.

Again, safety is one aspect which will keep LED light bulbs way ahead of its competitors. LED bulbs are a lot environment friendly. We already know they generate less heat. Generating less heat consumes less energy. This makes LEDs a real energy-efficient option. Another big ‘green’ plus is that LED bulbs are free from harmful substances like lead and mercury.
